What about Serena's face during the match with Amelie?? Jesus she looked like she was ready to kill!! Which she did thoroughly...

But I had to watch the match with no sound, so I wasnt sure if the crowd were being horrible to Serena, Serena was giving Mauresmo the FILTHIEST looks throughout the match and I was wondering if the crowd were being really horrible and nasty to Serena??? I had to put the 'come to close and Ill slap you' looks from Serena down to the crowd being really awful, or was Serena just trying the old 'out-psyche' routing on Amelie???

The crowd was OK. Of course they cheered when Mauresmo scored (how little of that we saw) but no, they weren't jeering or being disrespectful to Serena. Most of the match, it was quiet. And they did cheer Serena after she won. That face was probably her game face, after that she seemed quite pleased and was smiling.

Serena was throwing some daggers with her eyes on that court! Gotta love her! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

lol, she was so determined that her face was just scaring a lot of people including Chris Fowler. The way she grabbed and threw her towel at the changeover after going up 3-0 in the first would have made you think she was 3-0 down, lol :o

To much testosterone on that court....
sexist wretch, as if women can't have a game face or be pissed or whatever as if its a male trait, well it isn't. I hope you drown in your testosterone.

Thats exactly right!! She sort of threw the raquet down, grabbed the towel in a huff!! Thats the moment when I thought the crowd were being typically French....(horrible)

penne1, isn't it time for you to take your white sheets to the cleaners to be pressed?

The bad news for Justine is Amelie is much stronger physically that her so Justine may not be able to handel the Williams force and power.

I hope Justine does not wilt like a flower in extreme heat...

Serena had her game face on that's all.

Penne you're a fool. What does testosterone have to do with Serena and Amelie playing a match?

Queen Serena's demeanor during the match was just a look of determination (or, as aptly stated on this board, her 'game face').

I hope that she, like Venus, will forego the distractions of Hollywood, art school, and the glitter of the limelight. It would be best for their game if both were to just concentrate on WTA tennis. They need to spend their time in the gym working out so as to prevent injuries. They need to watch tapes of their opponents in order to better prepare for their matches as well. If they gave single-minded devotion to their game of tennis, they'd both stay at the top! And that's what I want!!!

I sure we see more of that look of determination in Queen Serena's face in all of her matches.

Serena was upset because they watered down the court just before they started playing the match. I believe she probably was thinking they were doing it to help Mauresmo and that is why she basically demolished her.

ddf - interesting point, thanks for that!!

Well I for one would shit myself if I played Serena and she had that game face on..

isnt it the most intimidating sight you've ever seen on a tennis court???

I think Serena's game face gives her a few free games by outpsyching her opponent before a ball is hit!!

A game face?

LOL.

You've got to be kidding. Game face? huh? That
was no game face. It was a face of a brutal killer,
a shark, a killing machine; it looked like the face
of a demon.

I was sitting in my sweet condo in safe Singapore
thousands of miles away from Paris, and I was
absolutely terrorized by that "face". I bet guys in
prison watching that match in the recreation rooms
were shaking in their boots.

In all my years of watching tennis never have I
seen a "face" like that. From the matches of
Original Martina in my childhood days to the
Terminator like Steffi Graf I thought this was it-
the look of a shark. Hell no!!! I never seen a
men's match with that sort of face ever!! What
was it a look of pure hate? I don't know. It was
the face out of a news reel from an ugly war,
Vietnman, Iraq, WW I, WWII, the Korean War etc..

What happened? was Serena possessed? It was
surreal. I couldn't believe it! It was brutal, and swift
like something out of serial killer movie. It happened
so quickly that it didn't even seem real.

It was almost supernatural.

Poor Justine!! Just give Serena the trophy already

Serena's face was of anger. She was angry that she didn't play this way last month when Amelie beat her. She was pissed that she may have had some fear that she could lose this match. Don't you guys realize now that Serena pumps herself up by getting angry with herself. Everyone is so damn catty that they assume she must have been "aiming" her evil eye at Mauresmo. I mean honestly, do ou think game faces work on a proffesional level.

"Boo Hoo I can't concentrate, Serena is frowning at me!"
